Chapter 013: Persimmon is Red

Perhaps it was Qifang's insistence on wanting to make money that touched the softness hidden in Qianniang's heart, and also remembered that when her mother's family was in decline, she worked hard for her livelihood, almost exactly the same as the second young grandmother in front of her.

Back in her yard, Qianniang sat on the kang and pondered for a long time, and finally sighed quietly, "Alas, everyone has times when they are in trouble, can they help or help!" ”

At this moment, Qianniang did not expect that it was precisely because of her sincere help this time that she won Wang Qifang's trust in the next few decades, and also got the glory and wealth that she could not imagine.

Of course, that's all for later.

At noon, Qianniang came to Qifang's yard with a food box in one hand and a burden in the other.

"What is this?"

Wang Qifang looked at a silver-red Tianxiang silk spread out in front of him, two two-foot-long plain lace ribbons, and a small silver ingot, which should not be more than one or two in size.

"Sister, that's the case," Qianniang saw the question mark on Wang Qifang's face, and after finishing the meal, she came over and pointed to the things spread out on the fur and said, "I saw that your needlework was very good yesterday, and it just so happened that I had a job here and wanted you to help do it." ”

"Work? You mean let me help make the clothes? ”

Wang Qifang seemed to understand a little, her eyes flashed with gratitude, and she looked at Qianniang fixedly, as if she was confirming the guess in her heart.

"Yes," Qianniang sat on the other side of the baggage, picked up the two pieces of lace, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's this little thing that is causing the trouble." The last time I went to the county seat, I happened to meet the shopkeeper of the cloth shop with fresh tricks, and if I took a closer look, it was nothing else, it was this rare lace ......"

Speaking of coincidence, when Qianniang followed Feng Tiezhu to the provincial capital to do business last year, she saw that the cloth shops in the city were beginning to become popular with this kind of lace, and I heard that this was still spread from Beijing, and the wives and ladies of those dignitaries and nobles were all decorated with lace.

It's just that the price was too expensive at that time, and she didn't give it up. Now that she met it at her doorstep, the price was more than half lower than last year, so Qianniang did not hesitate and directly bought all the lace in the hands of the shopkeeper Wang.

said that it was all, but in fact, it was not much, because the shopkeeper Wang was very conservative, for fear that this kind of thing would not sell, so he deliberately entered a few to try the market.

And Qianniang here, because she saw how women in the city used lace, after buying things back, she immediately made a lace trimmed mattress, and wore it when she was in the market and as a guest, and was rare and envied by several squires and wives nearby.

Among them, Mrs. Wei, who lives in Zhuangzi next door to Qianniang, likes Qianniang's trendy clothes the most, and went to the cloth shop in the county seat to buy lace that day. I went to ask and found out that the shopkeeper Wang was regretting the lack of stock, and only that afternoon there were a lot of Mrs. Kuo to buy lace, but a few samples he came in had already been wrapped by Mrs. Feng, and he was planning to go to the provincial capital to buy again.

When Mrs. Wei heard this, her desire for lace became stronger, but—

Waiting for him to go to the provincial capital to buy goods? I'm sorry, Mrs. Ben can't afford to wait. Besides, when he brought in a large number of lace, everyone had this kind of thing again, and she couldn't show off when she bought it. Mrs. Wei's mind was very active, and she immediately thought that Mrs. Feng must still have stock in her hand, so the next day she came to Qianniang's house with the materials she wanted to make clothes and two silver nudes, and asked her to help make a similar style of mattress skirt.

"Oh, I see," Wang Qifang nodded knowingly after listening to the whole process, "Actually, that lady just wants lace, and making clothes is just an excuse, right?" ”

"That's right, oops, the girl is so smart, she can see through a little," Qianniang nodded, she likes to deal with smart people. Seeing that Qifang only listened to half of the story and guessed the result, she was very satisfied, pointed to the silver naked child and said: "Recently, our Zhuangzi is busy with spring ploughing, I don't have time to do it, if you are still in good health, can you help me do it?" ”

"Yes, yes, but I don't know if there are any requirements for the style?"

Wang Qifang was seriously lacking confidence by the glass beads, and asked cautiously for fear that she would show some kind of sloppiness.

"Oh, what's the request, she just wants lace to be decorated with lace, skirts, just make ordinary mattresses and long skirts!"

"Okay, then I'll try it, it's just this silver-"

Although she wanted it very much, Wang Qifang didn't want to be so pitied. The thing is clear, people are willing to pay a high price to make clothes because of the lace in Sister-in-law Feng's hands, not for her Wang Qifang's craftsmanship, this money cannot be collected, even if it is collected, it is not this amount.

"Hehe, don't hide it from my sister-in-law, Mrs. Wei gave me two ingots of silver, and I will keep one ingot as a material for lace, and the rest of this ingot is the salary," Qianniang seemed to know what Wang Qifang was worried about, and said happily: "My sister should help my sister-in-law and help me make clothes." Of course, if the needlework is not good, I will have to rework it! ”

Receiving Qianniang's sincere kindness, Wang Qifang nodded, "Okay, I'll do it, and I'll do it well." ”

"Oh, it's a matter of my heart, sister, you eat first, this job is not in a hurry!"

Qianniang saw that Wang Qifang received her love, and she was in a good mood, remembering Qifang's haggard appearance in the morning, and added another sentence.

"Well, don't worry, I know it in my heart," in fact, it's not troublesome, we have modern tools to help." Wang Qifang put away the things, remembered the jar of seeds, and called Qianniang who got up to say goodbye, "By the way, sister-in-law Feng, when I was tidying up the room, I found this under the kang, what kind of seeds do you see?" ”

As she spoke, she pulled out the black porcelain jar from the corner of the wall, uncovered the small bowl that was clasped to the mouth of the jar, and asked.

"......" When Qianniang saw the black jar at first glance, the whole person was obviously stunned, as if she remembered something from the past.

"Sister-in-law Feng, isn't this something very important?" Wang Qifang noticed the other party's eyes and asked cautiously.

"Oh, no, it's just some seeds," Hearing Wang Qifang's voice, Qianniang came back to her senses, shook her head, and pretended to be meaningless, "After so many years, they may all be necrotic, if you want to pass the time to plant and play, then take it!" ”

"Oh, good!"

Since people don't want to say it, then we can't have no eyesight, Wang Qifang put the jar back in the corner, and prepared to go to the space to try it after lunch.

In the afternoon, Wang Qifang took the fabric and lace and went into the space to prepare for work. Alas, people say it's not in a hurry, but she's in a hurry. The sooner the delivery is made, she should use the silver sooner.

However, as she passed by the open space of the small courtyard, a bright red caught her eye.

"No, aren't these tomatoes that came in in the morning, how did they ripen in just half a day?"

Wang Qifang looked at the tomato seedlings with three bamboo sticks in amazement, and four or five red persimmons the size of a baby's fist were on the green stalks!
